So we made it this far...1,000 miles done and only 2,000 to do! Great to finally be in Jellystone...kids just need to see Yogi and they're made! Arrived last night into Grant Village and set off early this morning to head up to Old Faithful. Scarily they say that a third of the US population has visited this one geyser, so it's not quiet! We spent …

We left Motel 6 around 8am and made our way to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Right away we saw a few animals in the distance but even with the binoculars it was hard to make out exactly what they were; elk, antelope, or deer. We began our visit with a stroll around the Mammoth Hot Springs which I thought was a great way to start …
